I seem to be lacking plausible inspiration. I'll try to send something later today.

Isn't it just widdiful that you don't have more daffynitions? This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kalleh,

Four entries now. An improvement, but still woefully short.

Here are the daffynitions for widdiful:
traveling in an anticlockwise direction or demonstrating an anticlockwise motion
having completed the childbearing years, i.e. menopausal
a poor widow, to be pitied
God-like
Frivolous and lighthearted; flighty.
wooded (OE)
one who deserves hanging, a gallows-bird; a scamp, rascal
purposeful (from Welsh, wydd)
full of amazement.
Guess away!

The trouble is that the one I like most is the one I submitted.
As I don't want to go for that I'll go for one where I can't see any apparent attempts at misdirection. I'll try 5.

It is one who deserves to be hanged by an anti-clockwise-wound rope for the crime of purposely murdering a happy menopausal widow while in a state of God-like paranoia in the woods.
I'll try eight.

ROFL, Asa! Since we have no emoticon for that: o-)--)
I'll try No.4....

4 also for me...but, Asa, you cracked me up!

OK, I'll take a contrary tack and go with #1.

Everyone who submitted an daffynition seemed to have voted, so without further ado, here are the answers:
traveling in an anticlockwise direction or demonstrating an anticlockwise motion
Bob's suggestion; fooled wordmatic
having completed the childbearing years, i.e. menopausal
From bethree5; no luck
a poor widow, to be pitied
A poor thing, but mine own; so poor that no-one bit.
God-like
Asa promulgated this and bethree5 and Kalleh followed.
Frivolous and lighthearted; flighty.
Kalleh's entry which amused Bob.
wooded (OE)
Another from bethree5 which fooled no-one.
one who deserves hanging, a gallows-bird; a scamp, rascal

THREE daffynitions from Bethree5? Where's that rope!

Great word, Arnie, and you fooled us all! That was the one definition that I knew it wouldn't be .

Now that you tell us, I can think of a lot of widdiful characters. The beauty is, you can say, "He's a truly widdiful person," and no one will ever know you're suggesting execution!
